BASS AND WATSON^S GOLD WOLFKAM MINE, LINTON. 
By H. Herman, M.M.E., F.G.S., Director, Geological Survey. 
On 24th of March last, I inspected Bass and Watson’s workings at 
Linton, where a number of shafts as per plan attached (Eig. 38) have 
been sunk on a quartz lode containing gold and wolfram.

Gold-Wolfram Workings at Linton. 
(Scale—80 feet to 1 inch.) 
The prospectors’ main shaft was sunk to a depth of 60 ft. vertical^ 
where, the lode being cut, an underlie was j)ut down along the hanging 
wall a further 12 ft. (Eig. 39). At 72 ft. a drive was put in south foi¬ 
ls ft., where a rise broke through into Tibbett’s workings of 1865. In the 
south drive the lode was crossed and proved to be 5 ft. wide. At the 
surface the outcrop was 15 ft. west of the shaft, the lode here being 
8 ft. wide. At the 40 ft. level the hanging wall was cut at 6 ft. to the 
west and carried a lode 3 ft. 6 in. wide, with mullock on the west side 
separating it from another body of quartz which was cut into for 4 ft. 
At the 60-ft. level a width of 5 ft. of solid stone shows on the hanging 
wall side, but the full width is not proved.
